There are many similarities and differences between the book version
of War of the Worlds and the movie version. One main difference between
the two stories was the place in which the Martians landed first. In the book
the Martians landed in England first, but in the movie the Martians landed in
California. Another difference was the time period in which the stories took
<span>place. In the novel it was a few years from the end of the 19th century. </span>
While in the movie World Wars I and II had already passed. Last, the
weapons used to try to stop the Martians were different because of the
different time periods. In the movie an atomic bomb was dropped on the
<span>invaders but in the book all mankind used was cannons and rifles. </span>
<span>Despite the differences in the stories there were also many similarities. </span>
When a streak of light ran across the sky and crashed into the earth the
people in both stories had thought is was a meteor. Many people were
curious about the meteors and soon found out that the meteors were the
invading Martians. When the Martians came out of their cylinders in both
stories they attacked the first humans they saw with their deadly heat rays. In
the movie and the novel our most powerful weapons had no effect on the
foreign creatures. Finally, when the fate of mankind seemed doomed forever
the Martians in both stories died from a bacteria in the atmosphere that they
were not immune to. As you can see there are many similarities and
differences between the movie version of War of the Worlds and the book
<span>version. </span>
Represents being a survivor, his father living through the holocaust.
Answer:
Huck seems indifferent to his own claim about the kings of the past and the present, their companion "king" included.
But in giving the story of Henry VIII to Jim, he meant to show that all kings are the same, be it past or present, real or fake king.
Explanation:
When Huck told Jim about Henry VIII in Chapter 23 of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", he did not seem to really believe it. But there is also no proof of his own disbelief of the story either. According to him, there is no such real difference in the kings of the past and the 'king' who's their companion.
In his description of Henry VIII, Huck seems to have a mild idea of many stories which he composed into one tale. He attributes Henry VIII with that of the king in the stories of One Thousand Nights, the historical Boston Tea Party and the Declaration of Independence. There is no such demarcation of story and history for him.
But whatever that may be, his claim seems to be that he wants to show how almost everyone, be it the kings of the past and the one they have as a companion, are all the same. Some lines after this passage, he said "<em>What was the use to tell Jim these warn’t real kings and dukes? It wouldn’t a done no good; and, besides, it was just as I said: you couldn’t tell them from the real kind</em>."
